Well done Dave!!

JessRJ

Brilliant job everyone at the Silverstone 9-up TTT last night! It was a great evening, with 18 Beacon members taking part and one 3rd place on the famous Silverstone podium! Roll on next year

JessRJ

Thanks Martin and all helpers

Hi everyone We are currently 2 riders short of 2 full teams for the Silverstone 9-up team time trial on Friday 9th June. I have done it the last 2 years and had a brilliant time, the atmosphere there is a great and silverstone race track is some seriously smooth tarmac! it doesn't matter how fast or...

JessRJ

Silverstone 9-up entries are open! I am about to pay Â£560 for 2 team entries (Â£32.22 each) to BMCC so will be needing money from you soon! The list of people below is everyone who has said they want to take part. As said before, the fairest way to split us into 2 teams is to do a timed effort as p...

Hi Gavin, sorry for the delay, I've just replied to your Facebook message

JessRJ

A bit last minute - there is a 4-up team time trial on Sunday 7th May, on the K41/25 (east of Birmingham, near Wolvey). I can't make it, but are there 4 (or 8) people who would be interested in making up a team for a Team Beacon entry? Entries close this Tuesday night, so if you can reply back withi...

JessRJ

Hi Daniel - just check on the description as some of them do say entries are limited to members of their own club - if it doesn't say that it should be fine :) Dave McCann - video & photo of you in this album! Looking speedy :) Scroll down to the post by Charlie Toon if that link doesn't take you st...

JessRJ

Well done to everyone who raced in the Buxton Mountain TT classics series today - good practice for the LMTT next weekend! Definitely a race that lives up to its name - mountainous is the word. They should also add windy, foggy and soggy. The course starts in Longnor, near Buxton and soon starts to ...

JessRJ

Good luck Dave! I'm driving up with my sister & dog so I'm aiming to get there for 10.30 to drive the course then go for a little walk with the dog, so will hopefully see you all there at some point

JessRJ

John Hunt, Xavier Disley and I travelled down to the R25/3H course in South Wales today, for the Merthyr CC 25 mile TT. This course is the one that the all-time fastest men and women's UK 25-mile record is held on - broken last year by Marcin Bialoblocki in 44.04 and Hayley Simmonds in 49.28. The co...

Keith and Ian - you are both on the start sheet for the Buxton race too :) Thanks for the good luck for wales tomorrow Ian! Dave - I would give you a lift but I'm afraid I've got my sister coming along too & won't be able to fit you both in the car. Is anyone else driving up with a spare seat plus b...

JessRJ

The full list of people who I think are keen to take part from a combination of this post and the Facebook post are listed below :) Some of you have specifically requested the faster team, and some the steadier team, however I suspect there is a leaning towards more people who would prefer the faste...

JessRJ

Entries open next week and I will need to get in fast to get our spots! There are 17 people who have commented above - we need 18 guaranteed people for me to sign up for 2 teams. Is anyone who has commented above now not able to make it? And does anyone know of anybody else who would be keen? There ...

JessRJ

I can help with marshalling / time keeping on the 17th May

JessRJ

Joseph has a good eye, Dave's position is great!

JessRJ

Just a reminder for everyone coming to the TT session today - bring full race kit, as if you were doing a TT this afternoon, and anything else if you want advice on stuff. Please also bring any tools you need for bike adjustments (allen keys etc). If you can be there for 2.30 so we're ready to start...

JessRJ

There are some photos of all riders from the TT on the AeroCoach facebook page here - two albums worth!

https://www.facebook.com/AeroCoach/

JessRJ

I make that 14 of us keen so far! Are there another 4 who would be keen to take part this year? When entries open I will need to get in there quick with (hopefully) two team entries - and will need entry money off everyone then. It would be great to have two full teams - looks like a roughly equal s...

JessRJ

Well done to everyone who raced at the AeroCoach club TT on Sunday! That headwind out was tough...particular well done to Gemma on your first TT :) you were absolutely drilling it to the finish line, it was brilliant! Sorry for the delay getting times posted - I will post them as soon as we've typed...

JessRJ

Great, sounds like we're going to have a good group for Buxton! Not sure yet about transport there - my sister is possibly coming to stay that weekend so she may be coming to be Beacon team support, but if she doesn't I'll have room for one in the car. The downhill isn't that bad Dave - on aero bars...

JessRJ

Hi all Roadworks are gone so the TT tomorrow will be on the standard K34/10D course - see the green dot for the start line (and sign on location) on the strava link above. Straight out & back course, finishing back at the start. Gemma - it varies really, some people cycle out, some drive - if you cy...

JessRJ

Last year a team of us from Beacon took part in the Silverstone 9-up team time trial - it was brilliant fun and I would love to get more Beacon riders entered for the 2017 event. The race consists of 3 laps of the Silverstone race circuit (around the same bit that the cars race in F1 - it's a chance...

JessRJ

Hi Gemma You would be very welcome indeed :) no special kit required at all - just turn up at the start with your road bike - a good 40-50% of the entrants last weekend were on road bikes so don't worry at all about kit :) The start line should be where the green dot is on this strava map - and if y...

Well done to everyone who raced in the AeroCoach club TT yesterday - 5 Beacon entries out of 24 riders...the start of Team Beacon 2017 domination :)! The overall winners were Ollie Hayward in 23.31 and Victoria Smith in 25.23. Team Beacon times are below: John Hunt - 24.12 Keith Adcock - 29.40 Dave ...

JessRJ

Hi I have listed April-June races below that other Beacon riders are entered for as there are some keen beans who have already entered - if you are signed up for one of these events, or any others in April-June, please comment below and I will add you / the event to this post :) If you have any ques...

JessRJ

The course for the AeroCoach club TT tomorrow (18th Feb) has had to change slightly due to roadworks. It now starts slightly further down the course, and instead of an 'out and back' course, it will be three shorter out and backs, between the mini roundabout and the normal turnaround roundabout. Lin...

JessRJ

The 4th it is! 2-3pm for kids session, then 3-5pm for us. Bring the kit that you would race in normally, and if we can aim to get there for 2.30 ish so we are ready to start at 3 that would be great

JessRJ

There's too many forms of communication going on between here & Facebook! Ian, Keith, Gavin, David - if you're free on 4th march instead please let me know as we can have the booking that Adrian has done for then (the track squad have booked a few weekends in one booking) otherwise it may still be 2...

JessRJ

Does Saturday 4th March work for you all instead of the 26th March for the Halesowen session?

JessRJ

If you like hilly time trials, the RTTC classic series are non-standard distance TTs (i.e. not the traditional 10 / 25 / 50 mile courses), on hilly / technical courses. Beacon's Little Mountain TT is no. 3 of 6 in the series - I did it last year for the first time and it was fantastic - the Beacon o...

JessRJ

Hi Ian & James - yes AeroCoach TTs are 10am start, and just turn up and pay on the start line. Ian - I'll see if we can have a 'fastest person who has done an audax the day before' prize :) Hi David - sorry I missed you, which hill climb did you do last year? 'As many as possible is a fun goal' :) t...

JessRJ

Just to add that this calendar is in addition to the Beacon club TTs which are all listed on the thread below. These are a fantastic way to get started time trialling: http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/viewtopic.php?t=8067 The aim of this calendar thread is for coordinating Beacon entries to...

JessRJ

Hi Team Beacon As the informal time trial captain for the club, I am stealing with pride the format used for club runs to put together a calendar for time trials in 2017 :) My aim is to help to get many people time trialling in 2017, and to coordinate entries to events so that there are familiar Bea...

JessRJ

Anybody new to racing is very welcome to come along to the Beacon racing social on Thursday 12th Jan, anytime from 7.30pm in the British Oak, Stirchley. The informal race captains for road racing (Stuart), track (Adrian), cyclocross (Nic) and time trials (me) will be there to answer any questions yo...

JessRJ

Looks great Martin!

JessRJ

Same here for supporting Martin

thanks for the suggestion Chris but I don't think I'd be able to put nearly as much time into it as you do, keen to be an informal captain still though to help coordinate Beacon 2017 domination at TTs

JessRJ

Awesome times, well done everyone

JessRJ

I'd be up for having a go at being TT team captain :) Sounds like there are a few helpful things this could involve - suggesting good TTs, coordinating enough Beacon members to make a team up for races and a trumpet-blowing round-up of results (maybe weekly in TT season & monthly over winter) could ...

JessRJ

Prepare for a small amount of trumpet blowing :D John Hunt, Steve Croggon & I raced at the Team Swift event on the V718 up in Hull today - tailwind out meant a tough headwind back to the finish. John beat the Beacon senior men's record by 14 seconds in a time of 20.12, I beat the women's record in 2...
